Harbaugh on the multiple off-field incidents involving Ravens players this offseason: "I'm very concerned, always concerned. We talk to those guys all the time, and I'm disappointed in some of the silliness that's going on. Guys are young, but we talked to them yesterday. [Here are] a couple things we told them yesterday. First of all, you've got to understand that while you may be 22, 23, 25, 26, it's not like you're your 22- and 23-year-old buddies. You're not in the same position that they're in. You have to grow up faster than your pals, so you can't go home and run around with your pals and think you're in the same place that they're in. It's a privilege to have a job like this. It's a privilege to be in the National Football League. Yes, you've earned it, and you're going to have to earn staying in this league. It's never a given. Character is very important to us. Character really matters to us. We think that everything you do on the field, or off the field, has an impact on what you do on the field, and vice versa. ... Your spot is never guaranteed on any football team or in any job. You have to know how to carry yourself and handle yourself [and it] is going to be reflected in how many opportunities you get to do your job. Our guys need to understand that."

Harbaugh on Ray Rice's news conference from last week: "I didn't watch it, I actually read it, and I felt like I appreciated what he said and the fact that he stood up and said what he said. When he used the term 'failed miserably,' that hit home with me. But like all those guys, it's what you do going forward. That's what everybody is going to take a look at it."

Harbaugh on Flacco learning new offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak's offense: "I read the article that was on the website, so it sounded like he was pretty fired up. I asked him about it today, and he's very business-like about it right now. He's not ... I don't think he's walking around here giggling or anything. He's just going to work. He has a lot to learn. There's a lot of offense on his plate right now. There's a lot of communication. It's all different terminology than he's ever had before. The concepts are the same, but they're organized in a different way, so he has to learn that. He is going to have to learn how to operate it. ... There's a lot of work for him and everybody to do, and he's working hard at it."

Flacco on learning the offense: "I'm just excited about the opportunity to go out there and start a new year and have some guys that are ready to go. It's always a little bit different when you have some new guys. There's a freshness to it. It kind of has a way of getting you a little more excited, I guess. We're just getting into it, and I'm trying to remember the play from [quarterbacks coach Rick Dennison], to the huddle, to make sure I get it called right so I don't look like an idiot."

Flacco on being criticized by fans for not getting together a throwing session with teammates leading up to OTAs: ""I have no idea. I am going to go out there and play. I'm going to know the offense. The last problem that we're going to have is myself [not] knowing exactly what everybody is going to do on the field. That's never a concern."

Smith on if he has a preference where he lines up: "Yes, inside of the white lines."

Smith on the perception that he may not have much left in the tank at 35 years old: "The [defensive back] that's going to be sitting in front of me, he's going to find out how much I have left in the tank, and he'll find out real quick."

Webb on 2013 first-round pick Matt Elam: "The person who is just really growing is Matt Elam. From last year to this year, I see a big jump with his leadership, with him controlling the back end and just being that safety controlling the calls. I just really like where I see him going."
